ok im seriously looking into getting a s1 now, im 23 and for as long as i can remember ive allways loved the s1 and when i was younger i allways said to myself one day i will own one. well now the time has come.

what i want guys are all the bad points about these cars what i should look for when buying one etc etc basicly all the things that could turn my dream car into a nightmare buy

then i wanna hear all the good points of owning one

there no way im gonna be able to afford a minter as im gonna have around 3k to spend on one, but i dont mind that as i quite like the idea of getting one thats abit run down and in need of some tlc that over time i can return to its former glory but the thing is im not very clued up at all when it comes to cars and i realy dont wanna bite of more then i can chew.

basicly i wanna go into this with my eyes wide open and know any pit falls i may come across, so any info at all will be appricated

thanks in advance
matt
